Luther and the Reformation

How a Monk Discovered the Gospel

By: R. C. Sproul

Narrated by: Michael Beck

“Luther asserted that the doctrine of justification by faith alone is the article on which the church stands or falls, and that this issue touches the very core of the biblical teaching of salvation.” (R.C. Sproul)

Today, Martin Luther is known as the man who stood against popes and emperors in defense of the gospel. What drove this lone German monk to defy the Roman Catholic Church? It wasn’t arrogance or ignorance. Luther knew what it meant to live in the darkness of unresolved guilt. Once he discovered that his acceptance before God is a gift received by faith alone in the merits of Christ alone, Luther was set free, and he would not rest until the light of this truth went out to the world.

In this book, Dr. R.C. Sproul guides us through several crisis moments in the life of Martin Luther that led to his recovery of the gospel revealed in Scripture. Justification by faith alone was a liberating truth for Luther and the other Protestant Reformers, and it is good news for us to cherish today.

Great read

I really enjoyed this book. As a Lutheran I needed to hear what Luther said about faith and obedience.

Excellent

What can you say RC is a once in a generation theologin and his work never disappoints

The story of Luther and the doctrine he put his life on the line for

Everything about this book was superb. The performance was excellent. It gave a comprehensive understanding of Luther as a young man and emerging into adulthood. It provided the reason the reformation was so important and the role that Luther played in this time of the history of the Church. What I liked was learning not only about Luther but the doctrine that separates the Roman Catholic religion from the Protestant faith. I recommend this to all who want to learn about the underlying faith and commitment that drove Luther to depend on God alone and his faith in scripture, the Word of God.
